Press Play - La musica della nostra vita

Forget the negative reviews and make your own mind. It's a beautiful movie that will touch your heart. Take my word on it. The performances are solid, the images are so beautiful and the story is so, so touching and inspiring.

Press Play is a delightful story of young love. There are reminiscences of The Lake House, a movie I loved. I enjoyed watching the two leads fall in love. The main plot device is unusual and played out in a very enjoyable way. Danny Glover is perfect in his role. The sound track is great. I really liked every song as they were woven into the plot. Press Play made me very happy. It's a fine "date night" film.

I first saw Clara Rugaard in I am Mother. I thought for her age she turned in a great performance, especially being the only other human in the film except for the fabulous Hilary Swank.

I've not seen her since so when her name was on the credits of this film I decided to give it a go.

The result is that Clara needs a much better director to thrive as an actor. The story is great I love it, but the direction and sound track is appalling. Also I felt that the dialogue for 2 people so much in love was rather weak, and the leading man was a weak actor although that also could be attributed to poor direction.

There was a chance here to make a great film, and allow Dugaard to shine as a great actor, neither happen un fortunately but I gave it a 5 for Dugaard trying hard anyway.

I should make it clear it is still a watchable film and I did enjoy it.

A slow, indie version of About Time / In Time, and with a stupid and pointless ending. If you haven't, watch those two movies instead.

If watching with a girlfriend, guys you will be bored very quickly, so start grabbing parts of your gf that stick out, and start making out. To sit thru this on a couch would be too much to ask for.

Toothclenching lovestory, stealing ideas from ''always'', ''ghost'' and the latest newcomer on the mixtapefront , namely ''mixtape'', even though it happens in the hawaiian surf, at a cool vl record shop, and use danny glover as a filantropic flypaper...it is not the same...also a musical score chosen to sound the love on the infamous mixtape may just interest 5 % of the audience and sounds no kind a reckognition in a grumpy old mans quite music filled memory.

The plot says that the mixtape can reviwe the past, so if you have lost a loved one through the years, it might bite on you, i was just not bitten by this ''no no no'' search and research cryoutloud lovesteemer, i give just a 5 for the thought not so much for the performance.
